The only automatic transmissions used behind the 4.7 are the 45RFE and the 5-45RFE. Both are really the same transmission, with the 5-45RFE getting it's fifth gear through different electronic programming, while the 45RFE is a four speed. While some can feel the torque converter lock up, it is not counted as an extra shift. '00 has the 45RFE, not sure when it changed, I would think that info would be in your owners manual. Not familiar with changing the solenoid, but hopefully this will clarify what you have.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way
